CHAPTER 4-4

Soon the elevator brought him to a short hallway with nothing much to it. He saw a table with a typewriter and a box of money on it. He took the money and found another door. He went through the door and was in a huge room with a giant statue of Tails. "What were these guys thinking?" He then didn't pay attention to the statue when he saw a bridge leading to the next door. "This looks way to easy. They're up to something." Shadow began to walk across the bridge until two pieces of it fell into the water. He looked back near the statue and saw a man wearing a black robe activate a switch to the bridge and saw another wearing a red robe activate a switch as well. "I knew it would be too good to be true." He walked over to the statue of Tails and saw more men trying to stop him. He took out his handgun and began to shoot the ones that were in front of him. He looked up at the statue and noticed that the two switches were somewhere up there, "How am I going to get up there?" He looked over to him and saw a ladder and climbed it, seeing one of the switches. He walked over to it and pulled the lever down making one piece of the bridge attach to the rest of the bridge. He stared at the statue's hands and noticed that the hands were moving up and down. He jumped onto one of the hands and saw the second lever on the other side. He jumped over to the next hand and over to the other side. He didn't see the lever there but he saw it below him. He jumped down and saw the lever being guarded by a man wearing a red robe. He pointed his handgun at his head and shot him making his head explode into pieces.

After when the man's head fell off another head had appeared. It was the same plagas that had tried to eat Amy's head off.

Shadow took out his magnum and pointed it at the plagas. He shot it and in one hit it had died.

The body fell to the floor and melted.

Shadow walked over to the switch and pulled the lever down making the last piece of the bridge arise. He ran over to a gate that was in the entrance of the room and kicked it down. He then began to run across the bridge.

Then all of a sudden, the statue of Tails began to walk in a fast pace after Shadow.

Shadow looked back at the statue and saw it chasing him, "What the-" He ran faster to the door and when he got to it, it had a lock on it. He took his magnum and shot the lock open. He then used his foot and kicked the door open. He was now outside of the building and still the statue was chasing him.

The bridge that they were running on couldn't hold the statue's weight so it suddenly fell apart and it had crumbled into a dark hole along with the statue.

Shadow jumped and caught on to the edge of the remaining piece of the bridge and climbed up it. He then saw another door ahead of him. He went through it and saw Tails with his last remaining servant beside him. "Tails."

The orange fox smirked, "Well, well look who decided to show up?"

"Shut up. Where's Amy?"

"None of your business."

The black hedgehog clenched his fist, "Damn it, kid! This isn't a game! Where the hell is she?"

"No need to get upset. We're just giving her a little surprise that's all, but don't worry, Hedgehog. We have a special surprise for you", he said as he held out his hand near a support beam. Then a knife had stabbed through his hand and made it pierce to the support beam. With pain in his eyes, Tails looked over to the knife in his bleeding hand. Tears began to appear in his eyes. He then started to cry and scream, "Take it out! Take it out! Please!"

Shadow smirked with his arms crossed, "Why don't you ask your mommy, kid."

The servant took the knife out of Tails' hand and threw it back at Shadow.

Shadow moved to the side making the knife hit the door. He looked back over to Tails and his servant getting away in an elevator. "Hey! Get back here! I'm not finished!" He took his knife out of the door and placed it back in his sheathe. He glared at the door of the elevator they got on, "You're not getting away. Not this time." He then saw stairs near the elevator. He began to run up the stairs. He soon saw more ganados approach him. He took out his handgun and shot them out of the way. He soon came to a lift. He pressed the button for it to make it move upward but it didn't move. He looked around on the lift and saw large heavy crates on the lift. "Maybe this thing has a weight limit." He began to push the huge crates off the lift and soon the lift began to move, "It's moving." Then ganados started to jump on the lift making it stop because it couldn't hold much. Shadow took out his handgun and shot some of them off the lift making it move little by little. Soon he was done shooting them and the lift brought him to an elevator. He rode the elevator towards the top. He saw a green crocodile standing near a door, "It's you again."

"Need anything, stranger?"

Shadow took out some of the money he found and gave it to the merchant, "I just need more bullets that's all."

The merchant handed him more bullets, "Come back anytime, stranger."

Shadow went through the door and ran down a short hallway and into a room. He looked ahead and saw Tails smiling at him, "Got yea."

The orange fox laughed, "If you're here for Amy, you just missed her. I sent her over to an island."

"What! You son of a bitch!"

The servant wearing a black robe walked beside Tails.

"Heh, now she will become one of us and you will now see our magnificent power."

All of a sudden the room started to turn into some kind of giant plant. One of the vines wrapped around Tails' and his servant's body. Then a mouth had appeared and just ate Tails and his servant. Soon Tails had appeared on top of the giant plant. Now the plant looked like it had the parasite infused with it as well.

Shadow stepped forward to the monster while he took out his TMP and reloaded it, "Time to die."

Tails glared at Shadow, "Now you will suffer the same fate as Amy, Hedgehog." Then a giant vine had struck down on the floor making Shadow almost lose his balance because of the vibration. He pointed his gun anywhere at the monster and shot at it but the bullets were bouncing off it. "What? No weak spot." He stared at the one eye that was on the monster and pointed his gun at the eye. He shot at the eye and monster started to yell. Soon Tails appeared from another part of the monster. Shadow began to shoot at him.

Tails yelled as his guts came flying out from his insides.

Shadow kept shooting until a giant vine hit him into the wall hard while dropping his gun in a far distance.

The vine was pressing his body against the wall trying to make him suffocate.

So he took out his knife and began to jab the point of the blade into the vine several times until it finally let him go. He then took out his magnum and shot Tails through his chest making him scream and yell in agony.

The head of the monster fell to the floor dead and so was the rest of his body.

Shadow weakly stood from the floor and grabbed his machine pistol that he dropped on the floor. Ahead of him, he saw a door. He ran over to the door and went through it. He found himself on top of the building. He walked around until he saw a rope hanging from the side of the building. He climbed down the rope and came to another elevator. He got on it and the elevator soon took him underground. He came into a room and he saw a green crocodile leaning against the wall.

The merchant noticed that Shadow was heading for the next door, "What's the hurry, stranger?"

He turned to face him, "I gotta find, Amy."

"Oh yeah, the pink one. Good luck with that."

Shadow went through the door and walked down a dim hall. He soon walked around a corner and saw a female white bat sitting in a motorboat smiling at him.

Shadow raised an eyebrow, "Rouge?"

She laughed a bit, "Need a ride, handsome?"

He wasn't sure if he could trust her or not since she joined sides with Umbrella, "Why should I trust you?"

She sighed, "You wanna save Amy right?"

He walked up to her, "Fine."
